CHAPTER 324 – First Victory
Jade's eyes widened and she reached for the bullet with her right hand quickly, wanting to rid him of the pain that was coming with it, but Xander was faster and he turned his head away and spat it out on his hand.
"Throw it off," Jade ordered sharply when she saw him wince.
"Xander," her voice broke as her eyes glanced over the freshly peeled part of his lips.
Her heart cut into a million pieces seeing him injured that way.
She did not need anyone to tell her, he was in control. Howbeit she was mad, angry and hurt.
"Please." The tears she had fought back finally broke out.
Watching her cry, Xander opened his palm and let the bullet fall entirely to the ground. But no longer was it bullet form but it was turned to dust.
"Jade."
She shut her eyes and shook her head while the tears flowed down still. "No. Why…"
She questioned him as she sobbed.
